Wheel Upgrade?

Hey guys,

On my Trek 1500 I still have the old Bontrager Select Wheels.

These way in at 2952 grams excluding cassette.

I would like a little bit of an upgrade so I go a bit better but what do I choose?

I'm only looking for a front at the moment, So I could upgrade the back later,

Unless I get a major discount in buying a whole set.

I would like to spend no more than $160 - $200 on one wheel.

So whats the best wheel for this?
I have looked at Easton Ea50's and found the 70's are not much more expensive. Is it worth the extra $20-$30?
What about some of the mavic ksyrium's? are they any better performance?

Any help appreaciated. thanks
